There’s just one litttttle catch.

Okay, so maybe this isn’t technically a catch — more like a favor. Shannon and I have poured our time, energy and experience into creating the guides above. If you find them helpful, please take a few moments to do one (or more) of the following:

  1. Leave an honest review. This is the biggie! We read every single review and take all of your comments to heart.
  2. ‘Like’ our books. For the three books on Amazon, you’ll see a ‘Like’ button right below the title. Clicky, clicky, please!
  3. Tag our books. This is another Amazon thing! Underneath the About the Author section on each book’s page, you’ll see a section named Tags Customers Associate with This Product. Click the checkbox next to ones you agree with, or feel free to add new ones!

Phew — that’s the biggest giveaway we’ve ever done!

So, what do you think?

Are you ready to leave excuses in the past and take control of your author career? We know you can do it — and Shannon and I will be with you every step of the way. :-)
